Ohanyan's Lean Cured Beef 8oz (Sliced Basterma - Pastirma)

Fresh, lean, excellent Ohanyan's Basturma, best brand for Basturma! Came nicely packaged with ice packs inside, and insulated.

Probably the best Basterma we have ever had, and it is sliced paper thin making it so much easier to use. Reminded us of Armenian Church picnics, large family breakfasts of Basterma and eggs, and mezze platters from Heaven.Like another reviewer, ours arrived in the mail in a flimsy envelope with a totally melted faux-ice pack. On 90+ degree day no less. And we are on the East Coast and Ohanyan's on the West Coast, so it had a very long trip in the USMail. Yet, given that Basterma was developed in the Old Country as a way to preserve meat, and the vacuum-sealed pack was still intact, I just threw it in the fridge. We had no health issues associated with its consumption.We will definitely buy this again and again, as their is no Armenian or Middle-Eastern market within 60-minute each way driving distance from our home, moreover, this is the best we've had in decades, AND IT IS SLICED. It doesn't get better than this.

Delicious lean beef basterma but extremely overpriced

Taste and lean!!

I know first hand how this pruduct tastes like and looks like a real Kayseri pastırma. It is sliced into very thin letters that Kayseri pastırma selling store carve very thin slice pastırma by hand using a sharp knife. They don't use machines for slicing.

From one Armenian to another. This is the worst Armenian product I have ever tasted.

I love pastirma; I love it with eggs and I love it with beans. Now, as far I know I have 2 options to get decent pastirma in U.S.A. I can either pay a lot of money to ship it from NY, or I can order it from Amazon, and pay not as much. I prefer the ones I can ship from NY, but this one hits the spot.

Ohanyan makes the best available basturma. (I should make my own.)
